After months of hard work, I have the honor – as one of the digital designers on this project – to introduce you to, Hunter Public Relations’ new iPhone app: TWEET HUNTER!

(Trumpets) Dun, dururun, dun, dun, duuuuuuuuun!

You’re probably thinking, “Why all the fan fare?” Well, here at Hunter PR, we’re pretty big on creativity, and are always brainstorming new PR concepts and ideas for our clients. For years, we’ve wondered how can we share some of our brainstorming techniques with the rest of the world. Enter Tweet Hunter.

Tweet Hunter “hunts” tweets in order to reveal what people are saying about any word you enter into the app.  For example, if you type in “BBQ” into the Tweet Hunter app, roughly 30 words will be shown to relate to “BBQ” such as “sauce,” “Sunday,” “grill,” and “party.”  These results are ranked by frequency of use in conjunction with “BBQ” so you can easily see what people are talking about most on the topic.

Since so much of our brainstorming process centers on word association, Tweet Hunter can be a useful, on the go tool for sparking ideas and getting the conversation started.

If you want to download our app, it’s available for FREE via this link: on iTunes.  We hope you’ll find it as useful and helpful as we do.

Enjoy!

When did we start living in the future? I mean, we’ve all been aware of technology evolving through our lifetime, but nothing like the pace we seem to be currently on.

The other day I found out Sony is developing a display that is as thin as a sheet of paper and flexes like paper too. We’ve got cars that run on air, and with regards to cellular technology all I have to say is this- iphone.

All of these innovations are amazing and were conceived to give us the ability to multitask and mass communicate. But, has anyone thought about how much we all depend on technology?

Back in the day, I remembered all sorts of things from phone numbers and addresses to instructions on how to make a kite. Nowadays, if I walk out of my home without my cell phone I can’t help but feel a little anxious.

Technology certainly has its perks and I’d be a hypocrite if I told you not to use it, but as an exercise, try going a day without your phone. Who knows, you might find it liberating.
